Former MV-22B pilot. Hope to get back into flying some when I finish dental school.
I was promised airplanes...

Former commercial/instrument rated pilot. Was pursuing a flight career, went to Embry Riddle, then realized that I apparently don't value money (
) and became a fireman/paramedic, because well, I guess that I value being undervalued.
I soloed on my 16th birthday and drove a fuel truck around the airport fueling aircraft literally before I had a driver's license! Could also solo an airplane before I had a driver's license. I had an engine failure of my own shortly after being the first on scene of a 3x fatality (1survivor) Cessna crash and felt a little differently about my career path after that. I think that I wanted to be able to help more, so I pursued EMS. BUT, still hold my private pilot cert, and I'm a couple years out from being able to retire, so I should start looking for a good plane to become partners in.

Good day to get out in Moab.
Love it. How's the gravel treating the prop? Just making slow power adjustments on the ground?
I've been debating flying mine over there at some point.
I pumped up the nose strut a little to keep the prop higher off the ground did not notice any new dings in the prop. I kept the power low when taxing and rolled the power on slow on takeoff. Did a soft field style take off.
Fresh recover
